Este libro de Manuel Munguía Castillo relata la interesante vida de José E. Iturriaga, quien fue escritor, historiador, sociólogo, politólogo y diplomático. Iturriaga recorrió casi la totalidad del siglo XX mexicano. No contento con ser uno de sus testigos, fue también uno de sus actores.

Incluye audio del autor. En Los tacos de México Martha Chapa, conocida por sus manzanas y por sus buenos oficios en la cocina, nos regala un viaje a lo más profundo y conocido de la comida mexicana: las tortillas envolviendo todo tipo de guisados, carnes, verduras o simplemente un poco de sal.

“An extremely valuable original source on Texas history that heretofore has not been available to scholars or the reading public.” —Donald E. Chipman, Professor of History, University of North Texas Texas was already slipping from the grasp of Mexico when Manuel Mier y Terán made his tour of inspection in 1828.
